American Idol judge gets $46m for insults - Blog News.

LOS ANGELES:

Being rude to Americans can be highly lucrative - and win you their trust. That, at least, is the lesson of Simon Cowell, the caustic judge on American Idol.

It has been revealed that he is paid $US36 million ($46 million) a year, or $US98,630 per day, for insulting wannabe pop stars.

"Screechy and annoying," was his verdict on 17-year-old Paris Bennett, before she was dumped from the competition.

News of Cowell's salary, revealed by Desperate Networks, a book by The New York Times reporter Bill Carter, comes as a survey finds that 58 per cent of viewers who vote for American Idol trust Cowell more than his fellow judges.

Only 26 per cent trust Randy Jackson, whose catchphrase is "Dude, you were the bomb!", and only 7 per cent pay attention to Paula Abdul, whose judgments often make little sense.
